Tom Rocheinteresting listen
When India gained its independence, the rulers of the princely states - the Maharajas - had to be convinced to give up control of their territories to create the nation of India. It was a difficult negotiation for Lord Mountbatten as each prince wanted something different in return for giving up land, power and armies.
Guest: John Zubrzycki, former diplomat and author of Dethroned: the downfall of India's princely states (Hurst/NewSouth)

Tom Rochesee the [Figshare](https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.7439641.v2) or the still-preliminary (despite the event having ended 12 Sep) [agenda](https://www.cisl.ucar.edu/events/561/agenda) for the 2024 International Computing in the Atmospheric Sciences Symposium
Tom RocheCiarán+Uma mostly just (amusingly) bant in this one, but there is some good/serious analysis on topics including
* Soviet watches
* shopping in Berlin
* new/2024 hagiographic/biopic Reagan movie, ...
* ... and how Ronnie fits into US-NATO mythology about the Fall of Communism
* Barcelona vs tourism
* Mountbatten pedophilia, its/his connections to UK elites (esp royals) and how latter covered it up
* connections between Trump not-quite-shooter Routh and Elon Musk, NAFO/Ukraine, etc
* Israel-Hungary connections in the pager-sabotage terror attack on Lebanon
* how German Green party is crumbling politically, after years of failing their electorate and Germany
Uma and Ciarán talk about the previous week which to be fair was nuts. We had to split this in two so part 2 will be up on Patreon soon. Also we talked about the new Reagan movie.
Sorry about the late upload, I have no wifi while in Berlin so I'm in a coworking space where someone doesn't seem to know their headphones aren't connected and they're listening to a passionate speech about the US moving to the gold standard out loud. Send help.

Tom RocheEXCELLENT deepdive on (esp the unhinged rightwing opposition to) AMLO/Sheinbaum/Morena's constitutional reform
Soberanía takes a deep dive into Morena’s Judicial Reform. Co-hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth start by providing an overview of what the constitutional reform actually intends to accomplish. We also talk about the unhinged response by some members of the opposition to the push to approve the reform; as well as a response to the Washington Post by two of Claudia Sheinbaum’s incoming cabinet members. Plus, Supreme Court President Norma Piña finally leaves the comfort of her office and joins the protests (for about 5 minutes). In our Losers and Haters section: the Mexican Winter Palace has fallen and the Bolsheviks led by Marxist-Leninist Sheinbaum threaten to destroy bourgeois democracy!
Tom Roche4:38 teaser only
Danny and Derek give an update on Israel's invasion of Lebanon, Iran's ballistic missile strikes, what this means for Gaza, and the strategy (?) of Joe "does not have a doctorate in foreign affairs" Biden.
Tom RocheMP7 is VERY EXCELLENT as usual
After a series of setbacks in the push to legalize corruption, the master planners know they must take over the U.S. Supreme Court and halt the trend of Republican-appointed justices siding with campaign finance reformers. So in the early 2000s, they deploy their new judicial machine in an epic battle to try to permanently change the courts from the bottom up. This is part one of a two-part story about how the Roberts Court was built.

Tom RocheEXCELLENT: very funny/bitter climate humor. This 1st episode (mostly centered around a joke-infested, pseudo-debate-style mock panel show) bodes well for the [series](https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00236xp/episodes/guide)

The full series is available now. Just search 'Randy Feltface's Destruction Manual' on BBC Sounds.
Randy Feltface has been seen on Netflix, ABC, NBC, and has a huge & devoted following across the globe (1m+ social media followers, 1.6m TikTok followers, 833k subscribers, 79m YouTube views).

Tom Rocheconsistently excellent
Headlines for October 01, 2024; Fears Grow over Israeli Ground Invasion as Israel Orders Residents in 25 Lebanese Villages to Flee Homes; Ports Shut Down from Maine to Texas as 45,000 Dockworkers Launch Strike over Pay & Automation; “I Pled Guilty to Journalism”: WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange Speaks Publicly for First Time Since Prison Release; “A Historic Moment”: A Look at AMLO’s Legacy as Claudia Sheinbaum Becomes Mexico’s First Female President
Tom RocheEXCELLENT live/untruncated interview with the always-insightful Elijah Magnier. Main takeaway: IDF ground invasion is the main event, everything previous (or just else, if they chicken out) is mostly noise
Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah and carpet bombing attacks on Lebanon have shocked the region and the world. What comes next?
To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek is joined by veteran war correspondent and analyst Elijah Magnier for a special live episode of Dispatches.
Tom Rocheanother VERY EXCELLENT episode from this singular 10-main-part series
When five U.S. senators get caught pressuring a regulator on behalf of a financial magnate, they become known as the “Keating Five.” The public is predictably outraged. But what no one expects is that one of those senators will learn from his mistakes and become the staunchest campaign finance reformer in decades.

Tom Rocheexcellent but truncated
What’s the history of Israel’s genocidal ambitions and the indoctrination that it requires in the Jewish community? Is Zionism really about protecting Jews or does it actually pose a danger to them? What’s the history of Gaza, Hamas and the timeline of Israel’s violence against them? To discuss this and more Rania Khalek was joined by Zachary Foster, a historian of Palestine.

Chief Calls for Peace; U.S. Gov’t Agencies Found Israel Was Blocking Gaza Aid. Blinken Ignored Them to Keep Weapons Flowing
Tom Rocheconsistently VERY EXCELLENT (except for all the ads), especially
* 3rd-ish segment (should've kept count, but there was IIRC an exceptional number of "commercial breaks," and therefore segments, in this CounterPoints) on Dana Nessel's slander of Rashida Tlaib and its amplification by Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, and the Whole Sick Crew @ CNN, followed by their pathetically bad-faith attempts at walkback
* penultimate segment (6th? 7th? anyway, second to last) on potential upcoming US port strike and probably Biden-regime response
Ryan and Emily discuss Tel Aviv attacked as war spirals, journalist kidnapped by IDF, CNN doubles down on Rashida Tlaib smear, Kamala says eliminate filibuster for Roe v Wade, Biden DOJ sues Visa, massive port strike looms, and Missouri executes Marcellus Williams.
